G. Proof from the county engineer that, at the time of making the survey for the final map, the engineer or surveyor set sufficient durable monuments to conform with the standards described in section 8771 of the Business and Professions Code of the state so that another engineer or surveyor may readily retrace the survey. In lieu of such proof, the subdivider may deposit cash with the city in an amount specified by the city engineer to cover the cost of the proper placement of the monuments. Expenditures or reimbursements of the deposit will be in accordance with the provisions of section 66497 of the Government Code of the state; and

H. A statement on the final map that the park and recreation facilities construction taxes set forth in title 3, chapter 1, article 7 of this code may be required to be paid upon the issuance of any building permit for the construction of any building or structure, or any addition thereto, on any property or in any building located in the subdivision.

A. The city engineer shall check the final map upon receipt, and, when satisfied that all the conditions of tentative approval imposed by the planning commission have been satisfactorily met, that all the provisions of laws of the state as they now exist or are hereafter amended have been complied with, and that all centerline data, monuments, survey data, mathematical data, and computations are correctly and satisfactorily indicated on the map and on the ground, shall, within twenty (20) days after the filing by the subdivider of the final map with other required information and data, certify to its correctness thereon and transmit it, together with such other information and recommendations as deemed necessary, to the council, or shall return the map to the subdivider, together with a statement setting forth the grounds for its disapproval and the necessary steps to make it acceptable.

B. If the council approves the final map, it shall return the map to the clerk of the board of supervisors of the county for recordation. If the map is disapproved by the council, it shall be returned with the reasons for such disapproval to the city engineer, who shall return the same to the subdivider, together with a statement in detail of the reasons for its return. The subdivider shall thereafter, at his own option, make such additions or corrections and take such other action as necessary to overcome the objections of the council, as set forth in the statement of the city engineer, and resubmit it to the city engineer for rechecking and resubmission to the council in the same manner as in the first instance. The map shall thereafter be acted upon as set forth in section 10-2-403 of this article. Nothing contained in this section or in section 10-2-403 of this article shall be construed as prohibiting any subdivider from filing the surety bond as required by the provisions of subsection 10-2-403C of this article.
